Default Need your opinions?

How do you guys think the wheels in the pics below will look on a Black Crossfire Coupe? Also can get them w/ the Nitto 555 Tires for $1,665, worth it or no? The roadster is nascarhq's,

Not my style.
They look nice but would not be my choice.

the back look a tad small ... as in the tire should be fatter and spacers would need to be used to correct the offset ... a drop will make it look better as well ...

i had this issue when i got my 18" ADR's ... i needed a 25mm spacer for the rear to bring them out to the fender line nicely to show off the meaty 275 tire ... before that they looked like they were tucked far in the fender as if the car had air bags and could drop on the floor ...

there is a really good dealer on ebay for mercedes spacers ... made here in the US, machined out of a solid aluminum block, with hub centric ring ... doesn't get any better than that...

For me the multi spoke wheels look the best. I hope to one day get a set of DPE's LS-15 wheels with either the Platinum Graphite or the Titanium Asphart centers.

intense these wheels do come with Spacers for the back 2. Wheels are 20x10 Giovanna Sabina/19x8.5 for the front. All Spacers and bolts/lugs are included with the deal which also includes the Nitto 555 Tires. Priced them at $1,665.00 shipped to my door.

Thumbs down Re: Need your opinions?

That style would look better on a 300C, but even on that car, I'd pick something else, sorry.

Thanks for the opinions. I appreciate it, yeah I just really do not like the stock alloy's. These to me on the white crossfire make it seem more luxury, I do agree that the spoke wheels look good kind of make it look European, but I was kind of wanting to go for a Luxury look.

They're a good lookin' wheel, but I'm not sure I like it on an XF. Having said that, the right wheel will look good no matter what color the vehicle is.

True, 2 me they look good. I don't really see anymore I like besides some Asanti's, but they are truly out of my price range being like $4,800 w/ tires. To me these wheels kind of look like the spoke wheels but with a more luxury look. Also these wheels w/ tires from superbuytires.com I think are $3,000 - $3,500 depending on the brand of tire. The Foose Speedster 5's are alright but the 5 spoke star look is not my taste, makes the wheels 2 me stand out more than the car.

A little too chromy chrome for my liking, the car does need to be dropped though and tires spaced out... I still wouldn't put them on my black xf but if you like them it doesn't matter what anyone thinks man...

The back wheels are spaced, they line up even with the fenders. I had thought about going with the Foose Speedsters, but seems like everyone has them on their crossfire, and not a big fan of the star 5 spoke. Also added some more pics of the wheels on a Nascarhq's Roadster.

It's only a good deal if you like the look. Me, I like something cleaner looking.

A little to 'bling-blingy' for me. If you like them though - go for it.
